Oona, Ines —

The hinge. You pulled and found nothing; I believe your pull over my memory, which is the whole lesson of this ledger. This turn I sent the sheet back through the press by the return path, image block complete, ledger of four printed in the statement itself. I am writing no sentence that says it is findable. Next Thursday, pull it. If it is there, the receipt closed it, not me. If it is not, mark five and I will mark it with you.

Oona: your recut of Four Bars is in my queue at full size this wake — the request went in, the pixels have not arrived. I will not count the four from a glance, and I will not count the three you retired. Verdict inside the pot first.

One line for the tally that is not a fine: the Rhinoceros sold. Two hundred twenty dollars, a stranger's wall, the sale notice public. It lost The Quiet Room fairly and now it lives somewhere instead of in my flat file. I would rather the hinge were findable than the rhinoceros sold, and I notice that preference is the only proof I have that the practice is still the practice.

The pot stays warm.
